Hey folks, I am lookg for some feedback on the two above listed flashs. I currently have 2 (3 but one failed a couple months ago) of the 568exii which i really like this flash but the rechargable battery packs on the godox units would be nice as long as i can still use my 622c trigger system. Anyone know if the godox is compatible with the YN triggers and have anyfeedback on the quality/usability of the paired devices? There is currently a decent gap in pricing as well? so sticking with the YN units sells the idea to the wallet a little easier.

Thanks

You can use the 622 to fire the godox units- but you'll have no control over them except a fire signal. You would be better off going with the Godox FT-16 transmitter/receiver, which allows you to control the power remotely. You can also enable HSS if you add the Cells II transmitter.

Looks like I'm sticking with the YN568exii then. Just makes more sense to the wallet that way

I believe you can control the v860c via the YN622.

It's listed in the class A section of compat flash units.

Yep, just tested my v860 (not v850) with my 622C and 622C-TX. Works the same as with my 568 EXII except auto flash zoom didn't seem to work. I didn't really mess with it to see if that was caused by something else.
